Hills of the North, Rejoice
Author: Charles E. Oakley Hymnal: The Hymnbook #478 (1955) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Hills of the North, rejoice;
River and mountain spring,
Hark to the advent voice;
Valley and low land, sing;
Though absent long, your Lord is nigh;
He judgment brings and victory.
2 Isles of the Southern seas,
Deep in your coral caves
Pent be each warring breeze,
Lulled be your restless waves:
He comes to reign with boundless sway,
And makes your wastes His great highway.
3 Lands of the East, awake,
Soon shall your sons be free;
The sleep of ages break,
And rise to liberty.
On your far hills, long cold and gray,
Has dawned the everlasting day.
4 Shores of the utmost West,
Ye that have waited long,
Unvisited, unblest,
Break forth to swelling song;
High raise the note, that Jesus died,
Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified.
5 Shout, while ye journey home;
Songs be in every mouth;
Lo, from the North we come,
From East, and West, and South.
City of God, the bond are free,
We come to live and reign in thee!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 2:8 Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD
Hills of the North, Rejoice

To brighter hopes and kindlier things;
To visions of a larger good,
And holier dreams of brotherhood.
2 Thy world is weary of its pain,
Of selfish greed and fruitless gain,
Of tarnished honor, falsely strong,
And all its ancient deeds of wrong.
3 Almighty Father, who dost give
The gift of life to all who live,
Look down on all earth's sin and strife,
And lift us to a holier life.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Tune Title: TRURO

The Light of God is Falling
Author: Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnbook #482 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 The light of God is falling
Upon life's common way;
The Master's voice still calling,
"Come, walk with Me today";
No duty can seem lowly
To him who lives with Thee,
And all of life grows holy,
O Christ of Galilee!
2 Who shares his life's pure pleasures,
And walks the honest road,
Who trades with heaping measures,
And lifts his brother's load,
Who turns the wrong down bluntly,
And lends the right a hand,
He dwells in God's own country,
He tills the Holy Land.
3 Where human lives are thronging
In toil and pain and sin,
While cloistered hearts are longing
To bring the Kingdom in,
O Christ, the Elder Brother
Of proud and beaten men,
When they have found each other,
Thy Kingdom will come then!
4 Thy ransomed host in glory,
All souls that sin and pray,
Turn toward the cross that bore Thee;
"Behold the Man!" they say;
And while Thy Church is pleading
For all who would do good,
We hear Thy true voice leading
Our song of brotherhood.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 15:32 Tune Title: GREENLAND

God is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Hymnal: The Hymnbook #500 (1955) Meter: Irregular Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Missions Lyrics: 1 God is working His purpose out
As year succeeds to year:
God is working His purpose out,
And the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
Where'er man's foot hath trod,
By the mouth of many messengers
Goes forth the voice of God:
"Give ear to Me, ye continents,
Ye isles, give ear to Me,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
With the banner of Christ unfurled,
That the light of the glorious gospel of truth
May shine throughout the world:
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
To set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is nothing worth
Unless God blesses the deed;
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
Till God gives life to the seed;
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Tune Title: PURPOSE

All earth to Him her homage brings,
The Lord of Lords, the King of Kings.
3 Both rich and poor, the bond and free,
Shall worship Him on bended knee,
And children's children shall proclaim
The glorious honor of His name.

Author: Bourne Hall Draper Hymnal: The Hymnbook #494 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Missions Lyrics: 1 Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim
Salvation through Emmanuel's name;
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the Rose of Sharon there.
2 God shield you with a wall of fire,
With holy zeal your hearts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And calm the tempests into peace.
3 And when our labors all are o'er,
Then we shall meet to part no more;
Meet with the ransomed throng to fall,
And crown our Saviour Lord of all.

The Morning Light Is Breaking
Author: Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Hymnbook #499 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Missions Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking,
The darkness disappears;
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears;
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.
2 See nations humbly bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above:
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,
And seek the Saviour's blessing,
A nation in a day.
3 Blest river of salvation,
Pursue thy onward way;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay:
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, "The Lord is come."
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-5 Tune Title: WEBB
